Our parish had a seminarian visitor for two weeks and he wanted to meet some families with children to share some fun experience that he learned through his vocation. Our friends invited us over to share the same experience with them since our children our close with each other. We also got to bond with our parish priest so it was a great time for us all.
Get together means catching up and lots of food to eat. I am very grateful that our friends invited us over. I am not a very good host so I don't really invite people to my home, I think that is something I need to work on. Hosting a party is just something I am not comfortable of doing. I guess, I am always worried about what people will say about my home, the food, and all that stuff, that's why I shy away from opening our home to people.
I used to host a party when my kids were little for their birthdays but ever since they started going to school, we stopped doing it. Anyway, here are some of the foods that the host have during the get together.
Aside from seeing our friends, the part that I love about the whole thing is the sharing exercise we did. The last time I have experienced doing it was when I was still working at a catholic school. We used to have an annual retreat and I kind of miss doing that so I am grateful for the opportunity offered to us.
It's always great to visit our friend's home but at the end of the day, it is hard because the kids don't want to leave. I feel bad that we always overstayed lol. We all had a great time though and I really do appreciate them welcoming us to their home all the time. It means a lot because we don't have many friends and it's nice to have few but very close friends.
